  > The Stardate time format had nothing to do with Sun. I added it to Tcl while working at Scriptics, as an easter egg for the then-upcoming Tcl2K Conference. One of the conference events was a competition to implement a standard-to-stardate conversion utility, using an arcane formula. Only one guy entered the event. He spent a couple hours agonizing over the implementation (as he was looking for a job at Scriptics, he was eager to impress) only to have the easter egg revealed afterwards. Of course he won the competition anyway. And he got the job, too. – Eric Melski
